Palestinian civil defense staff carry a survivor on a stretcher after she was pulled out from under the rubble of a destroyed house following an Israeli air strike on Gaza City on November 18, 2012. Fresh Israeli air strikes hit a Gaza City media centre and homes in northern Gaza in the early morning, as the death toll mounted, despite suggestions from Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi that there could be a "ceasefire soon."
